I've heard that from a lot of people.
But it's a 2001 F150

What does the fluid look and smell like Mike , it may be fine as in already done periodicity

If it's somewhat clean and doesn't smell burnt you are probably ok changing it

Transmission fluid is extremely high detergent (if you want to clean your engine, put a quart of tranny fluid in your crankcase about 500 miles before a change), when you change to new fluid it detaches the built up gunk into sludge, which starts sticking valves and solenoid. If it hasn't been maintained regularly, don't touch it.


Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses.

It smells lightly burnt, it's no longer red

Some say a small leak in the pan gasket or at the radiator is a bad thing. Not for me. Mine stays replenished with new, a quart every 6000 miles or so. 1994 Chevy W/T Vortec V-6 with 385,000 miles on it. Still going....but not when it's hot, A/C has been out for 3 years now.
